This Photo of Comedian Tig Notaro Is the Definition of Brave

Brave. If you look up that word in the dictionary (or online, because who has a dictionary anymore?) you might come across a recent photo comedian Tig Notaro posted to Twitter. The image shows the genius woman behind the stand-up routine "Hello, I Have Cancer," cuddling in bed with her newborntwins, Max and Finn.

Of course, every new mama enjoys snuggle time with her babies. But in this particular photo, the star has courageously bared the scars left behind by her mastectomy.

"This is my life," Notaro captioned the photograph of herself with her sweet sons, whom she welcomed via surrogate with her wife Stephanie Allynne in June, according to People.

Notaro was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in 2012, and she has talked openly about her burning desire to become a parent. "People are hard on comedians who have kids and start talking about them all the time," she previously said, adding, "They're like, 'Ugh, they lost their edge.' I can't wait to lose my edge."

It seems Notaro has most certainly lost her edge, and she could not be happier about it. Because if you also look up the term "sheer, unadulterated joy" in the dictionary (or online), you might also see this very same photo. Congrats to the funnywoman and her new family of four! Tig, you have clearly earned this very precious moment with your too-cute kiddos. Enjoy.

Quick tip for all you parents all out there: My baby never slept well (especially through the night) until I started using the website >>>>SleepBaby .org<<<< - that website has been by far one of the best things I've ever got my hands on to get him to fall asleep quickly. Best time is 45 seconds from awake to asleep! I heard about it through a kindergarten teacher who uses it to put to sleep a group of 30 children. Check it out! Sorry, you can't post links here so you'll have to turn it into a normal link. >>SleepBaby .org<< Best of luck to you and your family! :)
